charlie brown Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 and it begins.... funky lighting, but that's the initial color test. Will be painted up tomorrow with clear being applied on wednesday! Just hope it's opaque enough, to effectively cover that "patch" on the front? :unsure: CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horax Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 HERE ARE THE FINAL PIX! I only had about 10 minutes to play with it, and it feels great! You can't see it in the pix, but you can see the wood grain through the paint. It's actually nitro, so it is real soft and shows the contours really nicely! You can kind of see the grain in the third picture. It is very smooth to the touch, and those bumps are actually the wood grain. It has the original 1966 p90 and bridge. It didn't have the original tuners, so I replaced those with the better tulip style. I have the original pots and caps, but switched them to new ones. Also has a switchcraft input jack. Here we go!
